WORLD/USA
It seems that neither Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga will emerge unscathed from the “curse of 40 million”: the title grosses 10.2 million dollars on day one, given that it includes the takings from the evening and night previews, and should close the weekend at around 30-32 million, in any case below of the 40 million estimated by analysts, for one of the lamest Memorial Day weekends ever (since Casperin 1995, that a film didn’t get so little).
Garfield – Tasty Mission opens with 8.4 million and could even put the top spot at risk Furious, should today’s takings be above average. He confirms himself on the podium IF – Imaginary Friendswith 4.3 million and a total of 46.8, while the last new entry of the week, Sight, collects 1 million and should not exceed 3-4 by tonight. Without the boost of comic films, which have fallen out of favor in recent months, the American market is floundering between unwanted prequels/sequels/spinoffs and little interest in “original” projects…
